besides the big four there's also that TMNT game by Platinum, which should be great because Platinum. Only just trying that Transformers game now and it's such dumb fun. Can't imagine how chaotic and cool it will to have all 4 turtles constantly spinning around.

If the Google mic drop thing caused you to get fired, you were probably on pretty thin ice at that point anyways.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

Google's April Fools prank was to include a Send + Mic Drop button that would add a .gif of a Minion(tm) dropping a mic and walking away. This would filter further replies into a different folder so you would not see them immediately.

April Fool's Day is literally, no exaggeration, a real-life version of The Purge and I fear the day that some prankster hopped up on Nuke busts into my home, murders my anime bodypillow and steals my PC

I hate Google but I still use all of their products. Same with Amazon. And I buy so many video games despite not approving of the industry's labour practices. April Fool's truly is a day of deep introspection

Remember when EGM fooled Capcom of America into thinking that there was a SF character that Japan hadn't told them about yet? Good times...

My favorite part of the Sheng Long prank is that eventually, every bit of it came to be a real thing in later Street Fighter iterations.

Some complete loving moron thought it would be a good idea for an April Fools Day prank to put almond extract in some steam lines in a chemical factory

(said factory works with cyanide regularly)

Also, this April, Super Adventure Box, a shameless retro-style platforming zone, is back in Guild Wars 2 until the 19th. I'm looking forward to playing it, and if any of you have been wanting to try GW2 I highly recommend you use this excuse to do so.

I ordered Dark Souls 3 on Amazon to save some money but it won't be delivered until April 14, two full days after the US release. This is my own personal 9/11.

I still like it but I've heard enough people say it looks bad and plays bad to say you should probably just try it to see for yourself. Or perhaps even wait for the second one if it's not already on 3DS since it's the favorite.

The second one is way better, one of the best platformers ever made even I'd go as far to say. The first one is still pretty decent but it feels more like a tech demo compared to the sequel.
